METHODS TO ELIMINATE THE OVERHEATING OF HIGH-CURRENT ELECTROOPTICAL SYSTEMS

The use of high-current electrooptical systems (EOSs) becomes increasingly topical at present. However, in typical high-current EOSs, intense thermal regimes in the EOS-platform drives often give rise to overheating which may end in the failure of the EOS. It has been shown that such evident measures as blowing and painting of the EOS casing and displacement of the platform drive inside the EOS volume do not cause the temperature regimes to substantially change. Also, it has been shown that the use of a nontraditional antibacklash transmission in the platform drive may lead to a substantial decrease in the overheating inside the EOS casing.
